That is the Bear river we spent lots of time panning for gold and fishing in the river
Growing up in Stewart BC we Panned for gold in all the rivers and creeks we would find old mine shafts and take samples dreaming of striking it rich Haahaa
My Favorite place in the world was the salmon glacier we heard of native going under the glacier picking up nuggets of gold the size of golf balls we never found the spot but it was fun looking and a grate way to grow up and bears was part of that
Me and my stepbrothers literally walked in the footsteps of Simon Gunanoot each mile ar childhood idol and grate grandfather to my brothers Ha Is a symbol of resistance but for us he was family the link below tells of his life in the wilds It's border line off subject but Relevant at the same time wearth watching and a must watch for the Canadain history buff and a glimps into BC early Frontier life

I saw 5 Grizzlies this past fall, they were all in pine/fir forest or 2 foot high grass. Historically the species lived from Morocco to Mexico (taking the long way), very adaptable animal.

Bella Twin, an Indian girl, and her friend Dave Auger were hunting grouse near Lesser Slave Lake in northern Alberta. The only gun they had was Bella’s single-shot bolt-action .22 Rimfire rifle. They were walking a cutline that had been made for oil exploration when they saw a large grizzly following the same survey line toward them. If they ran, the bear would probably notice them and might chase, so they quietly sat down on a brush pile and hoped that the bear would pass by without trouble. But the bear came much too close, and when the big boar was only a few yards away, Bella Twin shot him in the side of the head with a .22 Long cartridge. The bear dropped, kicked and then lay still. Taking no chances, Bella went up close and fired all of the cartridges she had, seven or eight .22 Longs, into the bear’s head. That bear, killed in 1953, was the world-record grizzly for several years and is still high in the records today.

My god, I'd almost consider turning the gun on myself rather than shoot at a monster that big with a .22.
